    Black series overland trailers

    My previous Truck was a 2012 Power Wagon with a lift. I had a similar setup, within the cab air adjustment. I pulled a large toy hauler and it worked really well. No sag and increased stability.

    Black series overland trailers

    I have a Rubicon and it pulled it just fine. No problem pulling at all the power was just fine. My only complaint is tt did sag. I just purchased airbags to prevent that. We went to the desert and had to cross over highway 80 and back over highway 88. The Gladiator pulled it very well...

    Garmin Overlander

    Overlanding with Anxiety

    My wife was the same way when we met. We started slow. Took her on easy trails, let her drive on dirt roads. Worked up to letting her do some harder trails in easy sections. Eventually she drove the Jeep on a few tough spots. She does not like to drive, but now is very comfortable, mostly...

    Starting over..

    Nice rig. Enjoy it. I recently did the same. I moved from a JKU to a Gladiator. My learnings from having many Jeeps and other vehicles is to get out and enjoy, build for your needs. My current rig is much simpler than others in the past. I decided it was more about the experience than it...
